This is typical of WWE as they want to be able to copyright the names.

Botch Take: As has been said elsewhere, I get the fact that names have to change due to WWE’s business model. Stokely Hathaway, while a great name, is his real name so it can’t be used. It’s the same with Shane. Stokely’s names have sure been hard to keep up with, no? Heck, this may not even be the end of it.
